Instant Paper Strategy & Design
The Challenge
HP Instant Ink is a smart subscription service for printer ink or toner that charges based on pages printed rather than ink used. The initial rollout was a strong success for the business and required a follow-on product to effortlessly flow into consumers lives.
The Approach
FreshForm transformed HP's Instant Ink subscription by designing the end-to-end experience of Instant Paper as its first add-on product. This entailed the co-creation of a North Star vision (Experience Strategy, UX Design) while also meticulously addressing short-term launch goals (ie quarterly revenue targets).
The Outcome
With the success of the revamped Instant Ink service, HP continues the long-term work started from our initial collaboration. More effortless opt-in/opt-out features, personalized notifications, and a relentless focus on learning and improvement will enable HP to build enduring relationships rooted in trust and transparency with their customers.
